    I want to be played by a dog

    My life isn’t very interesting, but it’d really spice things up if they had a dog try to do it.

      There’s no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball a person!

      You spent the first few years of your life, catching tail and sniffing butt, winning through life on loveable personality alone, and becoming a loyal and devoted partner, spending your sunset years curled up on a nice seat, watching the kids do their thing and getting occasional head pats from strangers for a life well lived and job well done.

    Aubrey Plaza. She’s way hotter than me (that’s kinda the point), and not half Japanese (will make the racist parts confusing and/or hilarious) but she could definitely pull off my resting bitch face and general disdain for everything.

    Ed Sheeran. Specifically because he’s not an actor and would stumble through the movie just like I stumbled through life. All ginger, no plan.

      Cannot stand the guy. Pretends to be humble as fuck. Shoots videos of himself being humble as fuck. Turns up in movies to unnecessarily defocus the scene.
      Yeah the guy can sing and has a comfortable body, so does my dog.

    I’m pretty tall, so the logical choice would be Tom Cruise on 12 inch heels.

      On the other hand, if you had Will Ferrel play you, but he and everyone is completely unaware that he is SE asian.

        I’d take him as a second choice if I couldn’t get Gary. To muddy the waters a bit I’d try to get Ken Watanabe and Shohreh Aghdashloo to play my parents.

      They’re both male so I’m assuming you were very ugly and bald at some point but now not quite as ugly and your hairline is …un-receding?

        I’m actually a beautiful woman. They will both have to agree to substantial surgeries before they agree to play me.

    Nicolas Cage

    Looks nothing like, but it would be funny as hell and in order to get him to sign up, they would have to make it somehow trippy and surreal.

    Zac Efron.

    The girl I was crushing on in high school crushed on him really hard as he appeared in High School Musical. I spent wayyyy too much of my youth trying to emulate Zac Efron as a result. Eventually, that whole style just kinda became my whole style. Seems like a good fit.

      Ditto. I think he could bring out the exasperation and pessimism that so much of my life warrants. And the transition to the good parts would be even funnier. “Oh, sorry honey, you’re why I keep going. I should have said that to him.”
